Beautiful…
(And no, the original poster wasn’t implying that dead leaves grow into trees. It’s poetic; think of it as dead leaves nurturing the new growth.)
A meditation on letting go
It’s almost here!
It’s been quite the journey and the process has seemed to take forever, but the live recording of last year’s Oratorio is almost here (the release date is December 1st, but it can be pre-ordered now).
Check it out!
A Friday kind of blog post
After a day of multiple meetings and big decisions, on top of a long and intense week, this really resonated!
Every time I read it I find myself heaving a huge sigh, releasing just a little more of the accumulated stress and strain.
I hope it does the same for you. Happy weekend. Have an ice cream.
Doing more by doing less
So the first and foremost exercise for healing my shoulder is…resting. On my back. For as long as I can, as many times a day as I can. It’s an Egoscue exercise called Static Back and I’m beginning to see it as a metaphor for my life.
How often I’ve thought nothing would improve or heal unless I was doing something! And, hopefully, a lot of something! I’ve been thoroughly conditioned to that way of thinking and it’s driven me to accomplish a lot of things in my life, for sure.
But what about the flip side? I haven’t been very good at the “resting” part of the equation. And as I lay in static back, I have lots of time to reflect that pushing, pushing, and then pushing some more eventually results in imbalance, pain, injury, and dysfunction.
Sigh.
I’m finally ready to stop. To listen. To rest and release.
